The only thing I would add to @migueldelaney.bsky.social's take on the NDL here is that I think if Frank had said Arsenal was too good...that would have just dug him a deeper hole because other lower table sides can put a hand on Arsenal, but we don't even try?

I've put together my thoughts for Pure Football.
I wrote about the questions I have after yesterday's match.
I'll be curious what you think...but the first question is "Is Thomas Frank already a dead man walking?" and I end with, "How do you even prepare to watch the PSG?"

Damn...when you get @notthatmilo.bsky.social pissed, he destroys you with stats.
I'm not ever saying anything bad about Milo.
His analysis of Frank's "17th" comment is withering and he uses the stats.

I have even attempted to write my thoughts out about Thomas Frank or the season so far...
I haven't been able to come up with a cohesive POV on what I think minus I just don't think Thomas Frank is the right person for the job.

I guess why is the thing to write, but I can't get there.

Mismanagement through the whole set up brings us here.
Ripping it up and starting again every couple of years impacts cohesion, which gets shown up in big games.
This means that probably the best thing we can do is stay the course, which is depressing on days like this.

So I must allow it.
Spurs players have been quitting for years, decades even. It’s a rotten corpse of a team & has been for ages. How many lifeless performances against bottom feeders have you forgotten about?! How about all the no-shows against the good teams that we should be up for?
Sadly, it’s what we do, mate.

We know that the Supreme Court will find some BS excuse to let Texas and the GOP do exactly what they want to do.
Do the justices have any rules they won’t let Republicans break?
